Steve Scalise: “The President, like any other person who is requested to provide information, did comply. When you look at the Articles…”

“The President, like any other person who is requested to provide information, did comply. When you look at the Articles of Impeachment, at the beginning of all of this, of course, there was the Mueller investigation for 22 months, which alleged many things. And, ultimately, the results turned out that there were no crimes committed by the President, as we had looked into when we were in the majority and knew that years ago, but for whatever reason, others wanted to continue making assertions. Those assertions turned out to be false. So, instead of dropping it there, then you had the whistleblower complaint and the allegations of all of these things that happened on a phone call. The only problem is the President then released the transcript of the phone call. And not only did those things not get reflected in the transcript, but the two people who actually participated, who should be listened to the most, both said there was nothing wrong with the call. President Zelensky was asked was there any pressure applied. He said no. He got the money. He got the money, and he also got the Javelin missiles. He thanked President Trump on the phone call for the aid that allowed him to push back Russia. As I will point out, President Trump sold 360 Javelin missiles to Ukraine so they could defend themselves, pushing back against Russia. President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden sold zero Javelin missiles to Ukraine to help them push back from Russia.…”
